Here is my question for you: Protein called p53 is known to have a very important function is cell life and death. There is a gene called p53 that codes for this protein. When the time comes for an old cell to die, this gene gets turned on. It gets transcribed into p53 mRNA, then this mRNA gets translated by ribosomes into the p53 protein, which then gets activated. Once activated, p53 Protein initiates the self-destruction of the old cell. The process of programmed self-destruction of cells is called Apoptosis. Recently, scientists discovered that in cancer cells, the gene coding for p53 protein is mutant (wrong DNA sequence). Step by step describe the consequences of p53 gene mutation: Describe starting from transcription, to translation, to activation, ending with function, how this protein's shape (and function) could come out different/abnormal, after a change in p53 DNA sequence. How can it lead to development of masses of cells (tumors)?

we read that in tumor cells Rb protein is hyperphosphorylated. In response to that, will p53 level increase or decrease? Why or why not? I need new answers please
A cell begins to undergo apoptosis due to stress. Which of the following are true about this cell? (select all that apply) The cell can exit apoptosis if the stressful factor is removed The cell has high levels of p53. The cell's DNA will inevitably degrade The cell may undergo mitosis before completing apoptosis
Stem cells have the potential to transform into any of the various cell types in the body, and thus researchers have explored how stem cells may be used to treat different conditions. Which conditions benefit most from this treatment? At least 351 companies in the United States are now offering unapproved stem cell procedures at 570 clinics. If you had a serious illness such as Parkinson's disease and found an unregulated clinic that offered to cure your illness using stem cell therapy, would you accept the offer? What do you think is the reason that FDA and state medical boards are indifferent to those treatment; are unaware of the scope of the problem or simply are ignoring it
My question is two fold. What are some diseases that cause and/or are caused by apoptosis? Also if apoptosis is the most common form of programmed cell death in animals, what other forms of programmed cell death are there? Thank you.
What is the rationale for synthesizing and rapidly degrading p53 protein in the cell? please give me new answer
The vast majority of human cancers mutations in the p53 gene. What is the function of p53 normally in the cell? What happens when p53 is mutated? Is this a gain of function or loss of function mutation?
If you were to compare stem cells to an everyday object or situation, what would they be like and why? I need some examples for this. It's very hard to think of one.
p53 is a transcription factor. true or false
If you were to design an experiment to get p53 back into cancer cells, how would you go about that work? How would you direct p53 into the nucleus of cancer cells without directing it to the nucleus of healthy cells? As an overabundance of p53 in healthy cells would cause problems. Could someone in depth answer these questions for me and explain them cellularly.
What is the ultimate response to a cell-cell signal? (select all that apply) gene expression can be triggered a signal is transduced a signal is amplified a target protein can be activated
Human cells are highly resistant to transformation. Experiments have shown that 5 regulatory circuits (pathways) have to be altered before human cells can grow as tumor cells in immunocompromised mice. State each of these circuits. Explain how the alteration of the protein of that particular circuit leads to uncontrolled growth. the mitogenic signaling pathway controlled by Ras. the cell cycle checkpoint controlled by pRb. the alarm pathway controlled by p53. the telomere maintenance pathway controlled by hTERT. the signaling pathways are controlled by protein phosphatase 2A, which modulates the activity of the mTOR, Myc, β-catenin, and PKB/ Akt signaling proteins.
